As we recently reported, Mogwai donated 2 tickets for their final show of 2011 (Glasgow Barrowlands, 22 December) and a poster signed by the band to the 12 Days Of Christmas auction to raise funding for autistic twins Ben and Finlay.

An update from Mike Stevens:

The two tickets were quickly snapped up for £50 but unfortunately the winning bidder is in Canada and can't manage the gig. She also hasn't paid for the tickets.

We'd welcome further offers for the tickets. Any reasonable offer acceptable. I see the show is sold out. The tickets come with a poster signed by the band and can be picked up at the box office at the Barrowlands.

Long-term readers will be aware that work has been underway on a deluxe reissue of Mogwai's 'Come On Die Young' album for some considerable time. This week's Chemikal Underground newsletter suggests this may finally see the light in 2012:

2012 looks set to be another busy twelve months with new albums from RM Hubbert, Malcolm Middleton (in the guise of Human Don't Be Angry), Adrian Crowley and The Unwinding Hours as well some high profile re-releases/boxsets, including Mogwai's 'Come On Die Young'

Here's a very welcome Christmas surprise - Martin John Henry has kindly offered Brightlight an exclusive mp3 of his version of Mogwai's 'Cody', recorded at London's Union Chapel on 7th November 2011.

Martin recently released his excellent debut solo album 'The Other Half Of Everything' on Gargleblast Records. As part of Gargleblast's Xmas campaign, the album is currently reduced to £8 (CD) or £6 (digital)

Various Spanish sites are reporting that Mogwai have been confirmed to headline Festival Estrella Levante SOS 4.8 2012, which takes place in Murcia, Spain on 4th and 5th May 2012. Magnetic Fields headline 4th May, presumably meaning that Mogwai will headline on 5th May.
